QUOTE (han2503 @ Aug 20 2006, 08:04 AM) I think Gourcuff is a Carlo favourite and I'm pretty sure that he will start, if not he will still get a good few minutes out there. And personally I think that Gourcuff is more like Pirlo then Kaka, that's why I think he will play there instead of next to Kaka, plus Seedorf is stronger so he can manage that position better then him  If we are to play the x-mas formation, Ambrosini will get the nod over Gourcuff for sure! |

i think Ancelotti is going to play it safe like this:
--------------------------Dida------------------------- --Cafu---------Favalli--------Costacurta-------Simic -------Gattuso---------Pirlo-------------Seedorf----- -------------------------Kaka-------------------------- ------------------Pippo----------Gila----------------- |

And btw Simic can't play on the left, he will partnes Billy in the centre and Serginho will be our LB |

I agree with arivanjj. I've read in a lot of places that Carlo wants to play with two strikers. He said Milan is not going there to defend the 1-0 result, but to close the match as quickly as possible.

Who knows, I don't see us scoring goals that quickly with Gila and Pippo, they simply don't work well together. And the xmas tree isn't a defensive formation, it can be very attack minded depending on how you use it. Besides there are also rumors that Gila could be dropped because he isn't in-form, so thats why I think we will be playing the xmas tree And Carlo isn't that stupid, he knows that we can't go all out attacking in this game we will be left open and they could strike us on a counter, I think Carlo will play more cautiously then he is letting on. |

I think Ambrosini is a MUST in this game. He is a great defensive midfielder and he links up with the attack well. Him and Gattusso could easily stop incoming attacks and contribute to attack as well. Pippo is a great finisher and Kaka could also score so we should be set. I don't think playing Gourcuff from the start is a wise idea. He should come in in the second half. |

Anybody knows if we can see the game live in USA? I checked all soccer channels (Setanta, GOL TV, Fox Soccer Channel, ESPN Deportes) and nobody has that game!!! Looks like we have to watch on internet only.

Yeah, if we play the xmas tree Ambro will definately start, that way Pirlo will be more free also with him and Rino covering for him, ho won't have to worry about any defensive duties.

Just because the formation has only one striker in it doesn't mean it's a defensive one. I wouldn't call a formation that had Kaka, Pirlo and Seedorf in it defensive.

We'll play with the same line up as in the first match. Ancelotti said it tonight live from Belgrade on Milan Channel.

If Berlusconi is in the stands it will be two upfront or a very possesive X-tree formation .. Whichever way the formation is, expect a Milan show |
